| Summary: | This book describes how auditors exercise different levels of professional skepticism and how they are exposed to different types of affective information on clients’ behavior.

It also suggests that the effects of auditors’ affective reactions on their skeptical judgments depend on the level of risk in the audit engagement. . |
